Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed out garbage can (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005 percent by mass of mercury, more than 0.002 percent by mass of cadmium or more than 0.004 percent lead by mass, the chemical name of the hazardous substance used is located under the garbage can symbol -"Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
